Overview

 
Welcome to Es Saadi Marrakech Palace, a landmark of discreet glamour in Marrakech’s elegant Hivernage quarter. Think palm-shaded gardens, a lagoon-style heated pool with a swim-up bar, and suites that feel more like private riads than hotel rooms. Three distinctive restaurants, a destination spa with indoor pool and hammam, and an on-site casino mean you can dip into the city’s buzz, then retreat to your own tranquil oasis just minutes from the Medina.

Dripping with old-school glamour yet quietly contemporary, Es Saadi Marrakech Palace wraps you in lush gardens, colonnaded terraces and soothing pools a short hop from the Medina. Spend unhurried days by the heated lagoon-style pool with its swim-up bar, retreat to the spa’s candlelit hammam and indoor pool, then work your way through fine Moroccan, global and Italian menus across three characterful restaurants. For couples and older families keen to pair Marrakech’s medina magic with resort-style comfort, Es Saadi Marrakech Palace hits a sweet spot: authentic palace styling, a superb spa and generous suites in the calm Hivernage district, just 1.6km from the Medina and 1.8km from Jemaa el-Fna. It’s around 30 minutes from Marrakech Menara Airport. See more Morocco holidays.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


This is a city hotel rather than a beach escape, but pool time is taken seriously.

Outside, a generous lagoon-style freshwater pool is edged by palms, sunbeds and parasols, with one section heated between November and March so you can comfortably swim in the cooler months. A swim-up bar means cocktails and fresh juices are never far from hand. Pool towels are complimentary.

Inside the spa, you’ll find a heated indoor pool with whirlpool (adult-only) – a serene space for pre- or post-treatment relaxation.

Spa, sports & wellness


The palace’s spa is a destination in itself, blending Moroccan ritual with contemporary wellness. Expect a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath (hammam), whirlpool and a long menu of massage and beauty treatments (extra charge; minimum age 16 years; opening hours typically 09:00–21:00). An on-site hairdresser is ideal for special-occasion styling.

Active guests have access to an air-conditioned gym with aerobics studio and free weights (usually 08:00–21:00), plus table tennis and tennis courts (some activities may incur a charge) and yoga sessions (often payable locally).

As evening falls, the on-site casino adds a touch of Las Vegas-meets-Marrakech glamour, and the wider Es Saadi complex often hosts live music or low-key entertainment, especially in high season.

La Cour des Lions is the showpiece Moroccan restaurant, where refined local dishes are served for dinner in a setting of carved plasterwork and softly lit arches (smart dress requested; no beachwear).

Lagon & Jardin combines buffet and à la carte service for breakfast and lunch, with an easy-going garden feel and a mix of international and local flavours.

Othello specialises in Italian favourites for dinner, from handmade pasta to wood-fired style mains.

The elegant Lobby Bar opens late afternoon till midnight for aperitifs, digestifs and Moroccan mint tea, while out by the water a swim-up pool bar keeps drinks flowing between laps.
